Ohh???


I have played a few - I think they *may* have been pulled from the market. Something about not being licensed properly??

 

[XLR8]

I don't know about "new" ones but I've seen lots of reconditioned/rebuilt ones on Ebay. Matter of fact, that's where I first learned there was such a thing.

Jane Ann, they were not made for very long. The licensing apparently wasn't done right and they were pulled frm production - or so I was told...


There was a Corvette owner named "Thrills" from the old "Forum" days who had a blue 1985 Corvette. It was the very same blue 1985 used in the pictures for advertising and also, for sound clips of the engine noises It was not an LT5, as some have said.

The LT5 is paid great tribute on that machine and I think the cutaway engine with plug wires is NEAT!!!!! :cool

Corvette Challenge cars are represented and of course, the red AeroBody Callaway

Right now, there are a couple of machines for $2,500 on the auction site. If they were closer, I would drive and get one. :bash

I owned one for 7 years.

we had pinball marathons with friends and my wife was always highest score.

the 3 digits for highscore holder are on the car display when shooting the ball.
So I was persistant to become high score .

when my wife was away on business trip one weekend I slided the glass plate and manually set my highscore hnoes

finally there was GFN on the cars rearend


then in 2003 I sold it for 1200 Euro :W

prices have gone up I see.

here is some pics of mine

There is a digital Pinball with the CORVETTE available.
I did some research and got it running with Freeware so no costs involved.
PM me for details
but nothing beats the real pinball machine.

I like that too!!

It's a really great looking pinball machine... but how could it be any less with Corvettes all over it?! :cool

 

[CallawayZ06]

There awsome, I'm sure they are a collector's item.:cool

 

[Aurora40]

Wow, that's pretty neat! I've never seen that before.

[SCVette]

I have one too!
Bought it on ebay about 7years ago, it has been a great machine with many hours of playing fun.

How were you able to change that. We have gotten Grand Champ High Scorer, but have not found away to get Future Car Champ & change the initals on the Rear End of the Vette.

I do indeed own one. Is a great game! It is jam packed with pinball things to do, and was described as a playfield that is too packed for a regular width game. The game play will satisfy imediately, as well as challenge your skill for down the road achievements.

You need to get to the puzzle and win all the peices. Then you will win or be able to win the ( not sure) the future car and then you can add your initials to the rear license plate.

Did you know there are easter eggs in the game?!?!

That the way it always starts....The wife was away one weekend......

Could have been MUCH worse, Honey look what I found !!!
We had to buy it....famous words from me. Her guide lines are,
I can have two of any thing............except a wife

That a nice peice of equipment, I'll have to try and find one locally.

No- Cause I have no idea what easter eggs are, but bet you can enlighten me.

We love the game. Dot Matrix Display is acting up, but that can be fixed.

Easter eggs are hidden items the programmers put into the game to be discovered. It is told that if you input a sequence of button presses, the game will play the programmers favorite song...to impress girls!
Search for pinball easter eggs and you should file a site that list all the known easter eggs for all machines.

Clean the contacts, and verify the voltage is correct. Caution!!! very high voltage is used in the display.

I have one of these pinball machines too, it really does not get played much but it is a fun game. If anybody is in the market for one please let me know. My machine has been for home use only and is in near mint condition.
